Astro A50 2016: Broken Microphone - Loses Resistance and Mute Capabilities

Tue, 06 Mar 2018 10:04:35 -0700

A guide on how to repair the microphone would be awesome if it's possible. This is literally the only issue I'm having with this headset and it will only continue to happen as a replace them. The mic lost resistance and would not stay in place. Then a few months later the mic is unable to be muted and it will do 360s instead of the 90 degree movement it was supposed to keep. Astro wants me to send it in, or I could just swap it at Best Buy, but I would love to know what is causing this issue and maybe it will encourage Astro to apply a fix to the issue. Apparently it was an issue with their Gen1 and Gen2 (without Base Stations), but I obviously have this issue along with friends of mine that have the same headset in the Gen3 model that Astro claims the problem doesn't exist anymore. This is specifically for the Gen3 model with the Base Station. Astro A50.

Astro A50 2016: Volume Knob only works 20% of the time.

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 20:08:27 -0700

Has anyone ever had issues with the volume knob not working? I scroll and scroll but nothing. Light presses seem to do something, but it goes up and down when you're only trying to go in one direction. I opened it up, nothing seems physically wrong with the scroll wheel, so I'm presuming its the module it connects to inside.

Astro A50 2016: My game volume adjusts itself. How do I fix this?

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:09:10 -0700

I have had my Astro A50’s gen 3 for a little over a year. I started having this issue where the game volume balancer wasn’t working. A day of two latter, the issue progressed to the point where the balancer is constantly adjusting to game volume. I’ve pulled it apart clean any kind of corrosion I could find to no avail. I’m out of ideas and I don’t know what to do next.
